Hall of Fame Country music star Randy Travis is mourning the loss of his good friend and former stagehand Thomas Roberts.

According to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, Homicide Unit detectives charged Christine Ann Roberts, 72, with criminal homicide for fatally shooting her husband at their 1212 Howard Avenue home.

Roberts was pronounced dead at the scene.

Roberts, 68, died of a single gunshot wound to his chest on the front porch of the residence.

East Precinct officers responded to the call at 8 p.m. They encountered Christine Roberts, who said that she shot her husband because he had cheated on her.

Police recovered a pistol at the scene.

Travis paid tribute to his good friend ‘Thom’ on his Facebook page:

“The stage has gone dim with the passing of Thom Roberts.

For many years, the Randy Travis band and crew had the opportunity to share the winding roads and the beautiful venues with one of the very best stage lighting technicians in the business.

Thom not only had a magical sense about lighting a stage; but, he had a quiet, charismatic presence that ignited your soul.

Always willing, with a ‘can do’ and ‘happy to do it’ attitude.

He was a gentle giant of a man that wore a constant smile on his face and carried a song in his heart.

One would search a lifetime to find a kinder, gentler spirit. Thom was my friend and I loved him dearly.

As we go back out next week, for the “More Life” tour of Randy Travis, the music will not be near as sweet; but, I will once again be reminded of the blessing I was given to have Thom Roberts on the road with us for so many miles, and so many memories.

It certainly won’t be the same; and, I know I speak for the entire band and crew when I say the light that he truly created, in our hearts, will never be extinguished or forgotten.

Tonight, I will look toward heaven and am sure I will see flashes of Thom’s handiwork in the night sky—letting us know he is home, and all is well.”

A judicial commissioner set bond for Christine Roberts at $100,000.

Rest In Peace Thom…
